To celebrate the centenary of YWCA, the Association hosted a Thanksgiving Celebration with the theme “A Century of Grace, Passing on with Love” to thank God for his unceasing grace and unwavering support over the past century. Over 700 participants joined the event online, witnessing God's grace and power, and prayed for His guidance in the future, so that the Association can provide timely social services for the society. 

YWCA Elderly Service Department joined the Gerontech and Innovation Expo cum Summit (GIES), to exchange ideas with the industry, and to encourage the public to employ technology to improve elderly’s quality of life. 

To reduce the risk of infection, YWCA’s Care & Attention Homes for the Elderly have suspended all visiting arrangements since the outbreak of COVID-19. With no visitors, life becomes dull. In order to entertain the elderly while keeping social distance, Watsons Water’s volunteers organised an online event, “Fun with the Elderly during the Fight against the Epidemic”, to celebrate the Senior Citizens Day with over 150 residents from the Association’s Wan Wah Care & Attention Home for the Elderly. 

YWCA Career and Life Development Service Team shared the practices of the Association and exchanged ideas with different stakeholders in CLAP for Youth@JC 2020 conference. 

Swire Properties and the Swire Trust launched the “Noodles for Love” $50 Matching Donation Campaign, with the aim to generate positive energy in the greater Hong Kong community, while sharing in the joy of cooking and spending quality time with family and friends. 

YWCA stepped forward in 1940s to start service in Sham Shui Po. To celebrate the centenary of the Association, our service units in Sham Shui Po organised a community partnership ceremony to share the development of our services in the area.

AXA Hong Kong ("AXA") collaborated with YWCA in the remote volunteering activities for its annual "AXA Corporate Responsibility Week 2020" ("AXA CR Week"). AXA volunteers learned to create DIY items through online workshops to promote mental wellness to our service users during COVID-19 situation. 

The Association’s Y Garden View Lounge was honoured to be invited by A.S. Watson Group and MoneyBack to participate in the “Get Rewards Around the Town” 18 District Cross-Merchant Consumer Spending Stimulation Reward Scheme, which produced a video of the restaurant to share its heartwarming story to the public during the outbreak of COVID-19. 

YWCA provides comprehensive social services, some of which are self-financed, to cater for the elderly. The epidemic has dealt a severe blow to our plans and made it difficult to raise funds this year. Therefore, we cordially ask for your support in the Care for the Elderly Charity Ticket Campaign 2020 (“the Campaign”), so as to take care of the needs of the elderly.
